Teaser Pics - BMW CF Splitters

xxe92xx · 03-26-2010, 04:52 PM

hmmm take a few more on sunny day....but what about keeping the CF and also getting the CF spoiler? that would match pretty good on AW

And when will we see them on yours.

what about just painting the top part of the splitter, inline with the air duct, then it wouldn look like part of your bumper is missing? just a thought tho.. still think it looks sick..

Are these 1x1 CF weave like the OEM CF roof?

I think painting the bottom would look better IMO, only because the way the splitters make the airducts appear larger than they are is part of the aggressiveness you get with these. Painting the top 1/2 you would lose this.

Even though I want to like them...I really don't. They look weird imo. Too pointy I think.

If someone has pics of these on Space Gray, can you post them up?

Thanks!

Thanks!

i'm installing mine either tonight or tomorrow morning. i held them up and they are even better looking than they are in the pics. fitment is PERFECT too. they are aggressive and at the same time slightly understated. space grey is a great color for them to be set against.

The splitter makes the front look odd from far away. They blend into the ground, so makes the front look weird.

I love how all the contours line up perfectly with the bumper

Wait until they get pitted up from road rash - then paint.

I don't know. They look like real nice pieces, but something's missing. Like a center piece that brings the left and right together. In other words, a full splitter, not split spliters

Would love to see those pics when you get a chance. Seriously considering this against the Vorsteiner front spoiler.

I kind of agree about the middle, but I *think* it will be less obvious with Space Gray?

John Tanglewood · 03-26-2010, 10:16 PM

That quality looks absolutely perfect. How strong do the pieces feel?

That's the tricky thing about CF.... it feels weak, but really it's very strong... but cause it's expensive you don't want to mess to much for fear of breaking it... haha...

Don't mind the touchup spots on my bumper, it needs some tlc after some highway miles..... haha.... still need to get the damn tape off the underneath from my old lip.. I guess that's tomorrows project

They look great especially on AW. Its rare to see these right now so wanted to quote the pics again. THANKS A LOT for getting these pics up so soon.

J08M3 · 03-27-2010, 11:47 AM

Actually now that I get to check them out on a nice sunny day I really like them as CF...

Next project - clean up my bumper, get the old tape off the bottom from old lip

I can't wait to get mine installed next week...I've got a clear bra on the bumper so the shop has to take that off, custom wrap the new splitters, put the clear bra back on the bumper and then install them...is your car dropped too?

Cloud · 03-27-2010, 02:25 PM

I love the splitters but it makes the car look like it has a big smiley face LoL
